There is still plenty of room for technical solutions.
Some kind of virtual identity plus slashdot style karma.

For wikipedia tor-users would start with karma=-1, only be allowed one 
edit a day, and the edits would only be visible to logged in users (i.e. 
not search engines), that choose to view TOR edits. After some positive 
mod-points, the user would be promoted to a first class user.  There 
could be conflicts in which case karma<0 edits would be discarted.

And it should be done in WikiMedia and similar software instead of every 
wiki.
